So,if u do your Maths..P1 will hit 155000 to 160,000 units by Christmas.
Perodua,will likely surpass the 300,000 unit sales mark.
No matter how many P2 distractors out there,the fact remains: Perodua will still be the blockbuster MDRT (insurance language) achiever.
Facts dont lie.For last decade,since Geely saved P1 from total insolvency,Perodua has been NO.1.
What exactly is the point you trying to convey here?
The point for the Roslan dude is…dont blow your trumpet when baru sampai Bkt Gasing…when Mt Kinabalu is your target.
Perodua has been silently achieving,breaking sales targets last few years.
And worst still,Roslan dude suka give excuses when sales dip a bit.
I buy proton badge and put on my car will that make it a Proton ?
